We're thrilled to share that CulturePass was selected to join the newest cohort of the Arts Business Incubator Program at the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). ABI provides NYC start-ups with intensive training in the fundamentals of starting and running an arts-based business, customized mentorship, and direct funding.

"This year’s cohort of six arts businesses were chosen based on their potential for creating jobs for artists, energizing diverse communities, and bringing art into the larger economy in dynamic ways. ABI, which welcomed its first cohort in 2015, is made possible by the generous support of the Scherman Foundation’s Katherine S. and Axel G. Rosin Fund."

We attended a panel at Huge inc. on The Future of Curation, Artificial Intelligence and Creativity featuring data scientists from companies such as TIME and Etsy. Our friends at AlleyWatch covered the event in an article entitled Anxiety and Aspiration About the Future of AIand gave us a nice shout out. Click through to read more >

We're thrilled to be a part of the 2016 NYU Summer Launchpad cohort! Read more about the ten participating teams here on the NYU Entrepreneurs Blog:

"We received nearly 100 applications from across 13 NYU schools with interesting ventures in health IT, enterprise software, virtual reality hardware & software, food etc. Ten teams were selected from this pool to receive $10,000 grant (zero equity), coaching and connections to help launch their ventures. These teams raised above the others because of the potential of their business, and even more importantly, because of the demonstrated potential of the startup team."
